I saw the movie today and one of the most flagrant ERRORS was its portrayal of Texas General John Bell Hood. In the movie he appeared to be about 60 years old. In actuality, Hood was born in 1831 which made him in his early thirties during the Civil War. Whenever I saw the old man Hood on the big screen, I found it painful to watch, knowing how youthful Hood was at the time. Didn't anybody associated with this movie even check to see how old Hood really was during the Civil War?
